S. T. Satpute | R. U. Sawant

Abstract: In Present work it is proposed to study about the production of biodiesel using Jatropha as a raw material with waste cooking oil and its blends; study of its characteristics and potential as a substitute for Diesel fuel in C I engines. Increase in the consumption and the price hike of petroleum fuel day to day is really problems for developing countries those are dependent on foreign suppliers and pay huge amount of import bill. During the last decade, the use of alternative fuel in diesel engines has received attention. In the last few years interest & activity has grown up around the globe to find a substitute of fossil fuel. According to Indian scenario the demand of petroleum product like diesel is increasing day by day hence there is a need to find a solution. So by using bio fuel as an combustion element this problem can be sorted so we have formulated a process which involves transesterification of Argemone Jatropha plant oil with waste cooking oil & methanol in the presence of a catalyst (NaOH), to yield biodiesel as the main product and glycerin as by-product. Crisis of petroleum fuel and import of fossil fuel is giving a high impact on the economy and development. Besides the economy and development, fossil fuel also leads to a major problem like global warming and change. The emission of harmful gasses like CO, NOx, CO2, and smoke density causes acid rain, health hazard and also global warming. The high oil price, environmental concern and supply instability. Biodiesel is part of the solution which reduced many of the problems. The objectives of this study are the production process, fuel properties, oil content, engines testing and performance analysis of hybrid biodiesel from Jatropha plant with waste cooking oil. Engine tests will be carried out in a water cooled four stroke diesel engine and experimental investigation have to carried out to examine properties, performance and emission of different blends of hybrid biodiesel.
